CALLING VISUAL, MUSICAL, AND PERFORMANCE

ARTISTS! 

Our art dept. is organizing a school-wide, full-day event featuring the arts. We are looking for artists of all different styles and media to come and share their talents with our elementary school students for a day. It is our hope, that by gathering many different artists from the surrounding area, we can help to foster and instill a lasting interest in a subject that often gets overlooked in schools: THE ARTS!!!

Basically, you would be presenting your art work and engaging the students in an activity of your choice with several classes of students. Classes will be supervised by Jefferson Academy Faculty/Staff, so there is no reason to be intimidated if teaching is not your thing. Our students are well behaved and extremely interested in the arts. If your profession is the visual arts, music, or theater/drama we would love to find a way to share it with our students!

If you would be interested in inspiring the coming generation of artists, please contact me!
